Look for these icons on the program description pages throughout this publication. They give you additional information about the program and its career pathways and alert you to graduate opportunities.
DEGREE PAT H WAYSA great blend of college and university! Degree path-ways such as articulation agreements and transfer credits give you the opportunity to begin your studies at one institution and finish at another. Holland College has more than 150 agreements with universities and other post-secondary institutions across Canada, in the U.S. and overseas. There are a variety of joint applied degree programs and 2+2 programs that enable you to earn a university degree in as little as two years after you have your Holland College diploma, along with other agreements that can lead to certifications.
ACCREDIT ED PROGR A MAccredited programs are recognized across Canada as having met national academic standards. If you are planning to work elsewhere in Canada, a diploma from a nationally accredited program will ensure that you receive full credit for your training regardless of where you settle.
DIS TA NCE EDUCAT IONPrograms that offer a distance education option give students who cannot attend classes on campus the opportunity to continue their education via the Internet, off-site at your home or office, or by a combination of delivery methods such as a blend of classroom time and online learning. If you are unable to relocate to attend classes or are working full-time but would still like to upgrade your skills, these programs may be just what you need.
A PPRENT ICE SHIP TR A IN INGApprenticeship training begins after you finish your program at Holland College and are working full-time with a suitable employer. When you are working with a suitable employer, you will register as an apprentice, and Apprenticeship PEI will give you credit for the hours earned and block exams passed while you were at Holland College. Each trade has a certain number of hours that an apprentice must complete before he or she can take block training and move to up to the next level. Once you have completed the required number of blocks and worked the required number of hours for your trade, you can earn your Inter-provincial Red Seal by completing an exam. An Inter-provincial Red Seal, which is the mark of excellence for your chosen trade and the designation most employers will ask for, gives you the ability to work anywhere in Canada. The most successful path to an Inter-provincial Red Seal begins with a full-time Holland College program.
For more information about apprenticeship training in PEI, visit apprenticeship.pe.ca. This information pertains to PEI only. For apprenticeship in other provinces, visit the apprenticeship branch of the provincial government for that province.

FROM OUR STUDENT UNION PRESIDENT
As a Holland College alumnus and a current student, I would like to encourage you to consider Holland College for your post-secondary education. I graduated from Sport and Leisure Management, and am currently studying Business Administration. I have found my experience at Holland College to be very fulfilling, and continue to enjoy being involved in the college experience. Small class sizes result in more attention from my instructors, which is a great help when questions arise. Even though we are a college that is spread across the Island, we are a very close knit group, some would even say a family. Please check out our website, or stop in to see one of our super friendly staff at Student Services.
Sincerely,AJ MacIntyre

BASIC FIREFIGHTING
ATLANTIC POLICE ACADEMY
Since the Atlantic Police Academy (APA), a division of Holland College, opened its doors in 1971, thousands of law enforcement professionals, firefighters, and correctional officers have received the training they needed to enter and remain in the field. In
addition to the Police Science (Cadet) program, the APA offers Basic Firefighting, Conservation Enforcement, Corrections, and Sheriff and Public Safety programs.
Some programs have a mandatory residence stipulation. Cadets in these programs must live in the APA residence in Slemon Park. The residential environment serves as a training lab in the same way as the driving track and firing range. The residence provides experiential learning that would not be possible if students interacted with one another in an instructional setting alone. Residence life allows students to develop skills in teamwork, problem solving, time management and communications, and for the development of attitudes such as gender and cross-cultural sensitivity that are essential to a successful career in the policing community.
“The APA offers really good programs and the
instructors were very knowledgeable and helpful.”
